| A seafood restaurant with the ambience of a retro men’s club, the McCormick & Schmick’s on First Avenue is part of a nationwide chain based in Portland, Oregon. Of the four locations in greater Seattle (the others are on Fourth Avenue, Lake Union, and Bellevue), this McCormick's is the most elegant, with a rich mahogany wood interior, gleaming brass fixtures and stained glass. Topping the menu is an extensive daily list of the fresh fish and shellfish prepared with a contemporary twist. House specialties include oysters and clams breaded and pan-fried, ready for dipping into tangy tartar sauce; petrale sole lightly cloaked in grated Parmesan cheese with a lively sauce of butter, lemon and capers; and crisp-edged Dungeness crab cakes paired with chili-lime marmalade. For the fish-phobic there are plenty of meat and poultry alternatives---such as the filet mignon. The wine list is a mostly domestic affair, and several choices are available by the glass. Also on tap is a selection of local microbrews. For dessert, we recommend the chocolate sundaes, berry cobbler or Key lime pie. |
